DHS Chief Says ICE Deportation Flight Saw 'Cannibal' Migrant Try To Eat Himself After Florida 'Alligator Alcatraz' Tour

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told reporters a detainee described as a 'cannibal' began to 'eat himself' on an ICE deportation flight and required medical attention. She made the claim after President Trump’s tour of Florida’s new 'Alligator Alcatraz' detention site, using the anecdote to emphasize a focus on deporting violent offenders and to press Congress for DHS funding. The remarks tie into broader July reports of deportation flights and expanding Florida detention capacity coordinated with DHS/ICE.
